Getting started
- Install a wallet. Rabby or MetaMask. NIMBRA adds the Elysium network (chain
99901) for you. - Connect and sign one message. Signing in is free: no transaction, no gas, nothing is approved or moved.
- Use your tier. It is set by the $NIMB you hold. Without a wallet you still get a few free messages a day on a free model.
Access & tiers
Each tier unlocks a set of models and a daily allowance in US dollars — the real provider price of what you use. The allowance resets at 00:00 UTC.
| Tier | Hold | Models | Daily allowance | API |
|---|
Holding rule
Access counts the lowest balance your wallet had during the last 24 hours. Tokens bought or received a minute ago start counting once they have been held for the whole window. This stops the same tokens from being passed between wallets to unlock access many times.
Chat
- Pick any model your tier allows. Models are grouped by lab; ones above your tier stay in the list, locked, with the tier that opens them. Answers stream as they are written, and the price per million tokens sits next to the picker.
- Conversations stay in your browser. Clear them any time from the sidebar.
- Watch your allowance. The card in the sidebar shows today's spend; the full history is in your account.
API
Pro and Whale holders create API keys on the Token page. The API is OpenAI-compatible: point any OpenAI SDK at the base URL and keep your code. API spending shares the daily allowance with the chat.

FAQ
Do I need an account?
No. Your wallet is the account; its signature signs you in.
Does signing in move my tokens?
No. NIMBRA only reads your balance. Nothing is locked or transferred.
When does my tier update?
Balances are checked every few minutes; the holding rule decides when new tokens start counting.
What happens when my allowance runs out?
Paid models pause until 00:00 UTC. Free models keep working.
